RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee (Jeff Smith, MD) to execute on behalf of the County, Contract #26-473-10 with SHC Services, Inc. (dba Supplemental Health Care), a corporation, in an amount not to exceed $837,049, to provide temporary nursing and therapist registry services for Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers and the County’s Detention Facilities, for the period from April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2010.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded in the Health Services Department Enterprise Fund I.

BACKGROUND:

For many years the County has contracted with registries to provide temporary qualified personnel to assist the Department during peak workloads, temporary absences and emergency situations.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On April 22, 2008, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-473-9 with Supplemental Health Care, now known as SHC Services, Inc. (dba Supplemental Health Care), for temporary nurses and physical, occupational and speech therapist for Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers and the County’s Detention Facilities, for the period from April 1, 2008 through March 31, 2009.

Approval of Contract #26-473-10 will allow the Contractor to continue to provide temporary nurses and therapists due to rises in patient census, staff absences and vacant positions, through March 31, 2010.
